Has it really been about five years since I last came to this thread?

My Saturno still going strong after more than 9 years of flying and not looking any the worse for it.

Took 1st. at the Great Grape Gathering back in early September.

Still my favourite P30 ! Thanks, Alexandre !!

Good to see so many younger people flying - and also the variety of models

Thank you Francisco- Beautiful weather, around 30C with very light, variable winds, patches of dead calm. Smooth steady thermals but often hard to detect - and corresponding downdraughts.
